Yeah, they'll fit. You'll need some M6 x20 hardware though as you're Ronix boots come with 1/4". Probably not an ideal board for it but throw them on and have a whack.

What about the flex of the board? Will that **** it?

The LaLuz is a pretty damn soft and flexy board as it is. I wouldn't put boots on it for fear of snapping it. The Infra is their boot board.

I'm sure Marvin @ InTheLoop would be the best person to comment beyond that.

It is soft and flexy but unless you are hitting sliders or doing massive powered moves (on your first day riding boots) you won't break it. It'll be fine for just cruising around and having a go.

....3 year warranty against breakage anyway.

It will go fine I have ridden both the La Luz and Infra in Boots and both go well.

The Infra is specifically designed to work with boots due the extra stiffness all the way through.

La Luz will go ok and you may want to check the warranty because as with most boards Bindings can* cancel the warranty out.

chuck on the boots if you feel like ripping some inserts and snapping that sucker in two. I've got a luluz and ronix one''s but am waiting for a custom. No way would I ever chuck them on a laluz unless i was sponsored rider. Just hold off and ride straps, seriously.

a 132 with boots is just way to small unless you are 50kg. Get a stiffer and bigger board. and get one that is made for boots, there are tonnes of them out there nowadays. I can strongly recommend the Cabrinha Custom and Underground Steeze, both are really nice boards, the Underground is the best boots board I've tried (might not be pretty, but it works really fine)!

+1 to the board being too small...
when i was 78kg i rode a 132 for a few weeks while i was waiting for my new board and it sucked absolute dong. every hard landing the board reverse banana'd and made me catch dirty front edges. rode the board for maybe 3 weeks before i creased it.

boots you really need a board thats stiff at least, unless you are going to ride kite high like a panzi that is.

like mentioned above the cab customs nice, i preferred the CB Tempo as my board of choice last summer, board was unreal and if I didnt need a board that works on boat as well i would of been on one of those in a heartbeat.

The Best profanity seems to be the goods as well and i would recommend having a ride on one if there is still a demo kicking around in WA.

Otherwise the influence or DLX from LF is also really good, DLX being my pick of the two.

Haven't tried the park but saw one and it looked pretty sweet but can't really judge until i had a ride on it.

Hi guys,

just clarify few things:

Yes you can LaLuz with Boots ( Rach uses 132 Laluz with Ronix Ones)
However, the infra is the more wakestyle orientated board in the Xenon Range ( stiffer, more rocker, 3d shape..)

KEEP IN MIND THAT NO KITEBOARDING BRAND (as far as i know) gives warranty for their boards if they have been ridden with boots!
If you break your kiteboard riding boots then your warranty is void.

So far we have had two inserts this on the laluz coming out (one of a customer with boots and one of old mate big ezzeee ( used cab bindings and they dont fit the board properly).
Thats under 2% for warranty claims..

No dramas with any Infra boards breaking/ inserts..- not even Sci broke a board and he rides pretty hard.

I suggest you use the Infra for boots and the laluz with straps/pads..

1. Liquid Force warranties boards ridden with boots, they dont warranty boards hitting sliders.
2. Pretty sure cardboard do as well.
3. Cabrinah dont make bindings.
4. Rach being a woman I would assume she is somewhat under the 65kg mark hence why she can get away with riding a flexy board.

surely the cab custom warranty is not void if you ride boots?! That would have to be a joke!

oh and the cab syncs work fine with the laluz. Just don't duck the settings all the way and also don't keep your board on when being dragged.

Your not going to pull a post 2011 tri block insert anyway. But when I pulled my old 2010 custom got warranty and upgraded the the 2011 free of charge. But I guess it all depends on how huch your dealer love you.

Cabrinha does not warranty boards ridden with boots neither does Slingshot ( besides Darksidei think, not 100% sure on that tho).
LF only warranties boards ridden with LF boots and not if you hit kickers and sliders.

Kitescoop has plenty of stories of Cab Customs that were replaced under warranty.

that's because the slingshot wakeboards work so well kiting that nobody throws boots on the slingy kiteboards anymore

Iv had the same with my LF kiteboards and wakeboards.

and Ronix boots replaced that were mounted on LF boards.

Liquidforce (well Masterline Australia) is the best company in the water sports industry to deal with for warranty in my experiences.
